My cat likes to climb on and destroy my window screens. How does this hold up to cat claws compared to the pet specific screens such as Pet D-fence.

I don't know about the comparison, but I will tell you that my cat easily destroyed one of the screens already. He just kept clawing at it until there were holes. It held up better than a regular screen, but eventually failed. I used a spray that I bought here on Amazon to deter scratching. That has seemed to do the trick. Hope this helps.

I don't currently have a cat and don't know anything about Pet D-fence, but I think it is fairly certain that a cat would be able to climb up this stuff as the small squared openings in the screen fabric would make it easy for most cats to 'claw' their way up, and maybe even pull it down using their strength and/or weight.

More pet resistant than say a fiberglass screen, but definitely not as heavy as Pet-D-fence. If your cat is already a screen enthusiast, look for something heavier and use the largest diameter spline that will fit your frame.

I cant answer that question. My cats sit and look out the windows vs climbing them or clawing them. I can tell you it isn't as heavy as the pet specific screen I have on my slider.

The perches are made out of pressboard and the posts - hard cardboard. My cats have torn open one section of one post where they scratch a lot. If I purchased a staple gun I think I could fix it. My fat 17 lb. cat loves it and lounges on the perches which are 17" by 10 1/2" with a post up through it. With enough clearance away from the wall she lounges along the wider end of the perch and along the back side behind the post. I find everything sturdy for climbing. The perches do not bend nor are they unstable. The covering is a fuzzy carpet like material. All the cats scratch on it but only one cat LOVES climbing and playing and being up high on it.

The material is stronger and thicker than paper and mine has never torn. I actually bought mine to hide my litter box behind. I have two cats and the screen is just as flawless today as it was the day I bought it.

No idea how it stands up to small holes from cat toe nails. I use the pet screen to make beach totes for my grand children. The sand flows through the screening as well as anything wet. Screening is tough and stands up well to toddlers dragging it around with beach toys.

My 22lb cat may be lazy, but she just sat there and looked out the screen or layed there and napped while pushing her so not sure. My other cat that is declawed also just sits there and looks out, so neither of them try clawing at it.

When they built my screen room they had to BUILT a frame around it using the kick panel and corner of the screen room structure. Works well. Both the dog and cat use it.

I bought this screen with the intention of installing it. Our lives changed drastically and we moved 300 miles away. I am settled in my new place and still have not installed this screen fabric. My cat loves to sharpen his claws on screen doors, so its just a matter of time, until I have to install this screen fabric on my screen door. I am sorry, I really can't be more helpful in answering your question.

I have a cat that likes to climb and I have put a drape cloth over my chair, just to be safe, but I haven't found any where her claws have penetrated yet. Not saying it won't happen, but I did put the old blanket over to be safe

I have 2 cats that have punctured my standard metal screens with their nails. These screens have been excellent in terms of not getting holes from the cat nails-and my cats sure try!

I am sorry, but I haven't used the screening as it is too small for my screen door. But I do think that cats nails won't tear the screening material since it is very thick and heavy "pet" screening.

I would say she would pull it out of the frame itself before she would scratch through it. The way screens are held in place is not terribly secure. As for the screening itself... I would not trust it. I wish I had a better answer but my pets are cats.

Yes I use mine to keep my cat from pushing the screen out. Its a decorative look on the door

It's heat resistant screen. My cat likes to sleep on top - all the time. He's a fat cat too. It's strong and sufficient. Very sturdy.

I really don't know, my cat has no front claws and it very timid. We have used it 3 times and it is just for short distance. We use it to take our cat to get a trim job about every 4 months We haven' had any problem at this time.The carrier is very nice because the cat can see out of all 4 sides and the top. So their not as closed in as the plastic ones. I hope this was helpful glen PS: It also unfolds and is very easy the store.

We have 3 cats and the screen is amazing (no holes or stretching). It is well worth the extra cost!!!! We had a few gnats to come in but that might have been because of a small gap under the screen door. The companies clams are true.

I have the problem with my medium size cat using it. While the side and bottom are secure, the other corner not secure tore my screen and it became wobbly after a while.While this is cheap, it worked for me. If you have a sliding patio door, I'd look into get one of the more expensive doors you put in and slide closed on. I bought one for a friend and's perfect for his dogs. He just puts it into place over the summer and his dogs can come and go all day long.

Yes all sides are screen, I have 3 cats at home and none of them have ever gotten in before. I've had my chameleon in here for over a year now. Its a great cage. Also! The screen IS metal, your cats claw isn't going to easily rip it like someone else said.
